El Programa
Mezcal & Tequila.
Forty agave spirits, twenty-three small producers, two trips a year to Mexico. The bar is the reason a lot of guests come back. We pour generously, and we will tell you what we know.
Sourced direct
We buy from producers we have visited. The room knows their names; we are happy to walk you through them.
Poured generously
Two-ounce pours by default, in clay copitas with a salt and orange rest. No tiny tasting glasses unless you ask.
Built nightly
Three-pour tasting flights are built around what is open and pouring well. Tell your server how you usually drink, and we will go from there.
